Chapter 173: The Princes of the Two Han Dynasty

Li Dian and Li Xuan glanced at each other

Li Dian said: "Yesterday I bent over and asked him not to spread the news of yesterday, but he did not answer, so that I had to confess my mistakes to Wenjun, and against my own will, I recommended him to Wenjun Wenjun and remembered the old man, although I did not blame me for this, but it has also damaged my name, after this incident, I don't know if Wenjun will reuse me in the future, but he is good, but he has won Wenjun's favor because of this!" 'Friendly' with him? Hum! How can a big husband swallow his anger and harbor a grudge and not decide? ”

Li Xuanxin said: "Li Dian's generations believe that they are old lieutenants, and they always despise me, and they still scolded me like this yesterday on Mafu Mountain!" In the past, in my home Changshan, who didn't know my name Li Xuan? Xuan Yi's husband, how can he suffer this humiliation and not report it? If I have the opportunity in the future, I will repay it."

Li Xuan was hospitable in Changshan with light wealth and hospitality, befriended light heroes, and was also a strong man in a county, since the fall of the ugly text, he was repeatedly humiliated by Li Dian and others, and he had long been hated and resentful, and wanted to repay this humiliation, and yesterday he also used this to inspire his subordinates.

The two of them had their own thoughts, and although they each resented each other, they didn't dare to disobey Wen Chou's order, so they reluctantly shook each other.

Wen Chou smiled and said, "You guys go back to the camp" and beat them away, boarded the car with Xun Yu, and rode back to the city

Wen Chou actually does not like to sit in the car, stuffy in the car, go slowly, but also bumpy, usually travel often on horseback, riding a horse is cool, and can also be used to show its heroic posture to the soldiers and the people, it can be described as the best of both worlds, but Confucianism pays attention to respect and order, the Han system stipulates that officials must travel according to different ranks to take different cars, in order to demonstrate the ceremony in the early years of the Minben Dynasty, Julu is too shou Xie Yiwu did not respect the national code, travel by firewood car, was the state assassin in the history of its "ritual order is lost, detrimental to the national code". Then he was demoted to the order of Xiapi County, and although Wen Chou was good at riding a horse, he had to change to a car when he was in the office

There are all kinds of honor guards in front of the car.

Four foot soldiers holding "noodles" in their hands majestically opened the way at the front, chariots with big axes solemnly followed, the advocacy chariots followed, and the musicians knelt on the chariots. The drum music is strong and powerful, and then three cars with the lieutenant's office officials as the guide, the officials are all with swords, and the back of the car is the main car that Wen Chou rides, the car is erected with a tall black cover, the two sides of the car are painted red, there are two horsemen carrying halberds in front of and behind the car, guarding the main car, and there are two white covered official cars from the line, these two official cars are the main bookkeeper of the car, Wen Chou has not yet removed the main book, but the main book car is just an empty car. There are only the king, not the passengers

The empty car was not only the lieutenant's car, but the three guide cars in front were also empty, but the empty one was the lieutenant's car

Around Wenchou's main car, Tie Qian and others with his own soldiers closely escorted Dian Wei and did not return to the camp, wearing armor and holding halberds on foot from the side of the car.

To be honest, although Wen Chou doesn't like to ride in a car, he has to admit that the travel honor guard of the two thousand stone Han officials is indeed majestic and majestic.

……

Upstairs in the middle near the north gate. Yuan's prime minister, Yuan's Rong and others watched Wen Chou's car drive back to the city

The Yuan clan looked at the guide and attendant cars in front and behind the main car, and said thoughtfully: "The lieutenant has been in office for half a month. It has a deep meaning to not set up Gong Cao and the main book for a long time, and to travel today with Gong Cao and the main book, but to travel with Gong Cao and the main book, this move has deep meaning" He asked Yuan Shirong, "You just said that the king wants to summon the lieutenant on the Lebo Festival?" ”

"It was when Ai Xiangjun reported the victory to the king yesterday, and the king said that he would summon the lieutenant and Xun Yu after today's victory."

Yuan Shixiang looked down the street for a while. Noticing that Wen Chou's car did not go to the Lieutenant's Mansion in the west of the city, but went to the palace, and said: "It's really going to the palace" After a little thought, he made a decision and instructed Yuan Shirong. said, "Go get me the car."

"Spare car?"

"I'm going to the palace!"

Compared with the former Han Dynasty, the princes and kings of the Eastern Han Dynasty were much more honest, as of the time of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, a total of 23 people were punished for violating the law, most of them were in the time of Emperor Ming, Zhang, He, and Emperor An, two during Emperor Huan, and only one during Emperor Ling, that is, Liu Kui, King of Bohai, who was still convicted of being falsely accused. Among the other convicted princes and kings, there were also false accusations, plus Liu Kui, a total of four.

The princes and kings of the former Han Dynasty mostly falsely accused the courtiers, causing the courtiers to be convicted and killed, but the Eastern Han Dynasty became the princes and kings who were falsely accused and convicted, and the strength and weakness were mutually exchanged. Compared with the previous Han Dynasty, the princes and kings of the Eastern Han Dynasty no longer have authority, like birds in a cage.

The low status of the princes and kings of the Eastern Han Dynasty was also manifested in their self-amusement and awe of the officials in the country.

During the Ming Emperor, Liu Mu, the king of Beihai, sent the middle doctor in the country to the pilgrimage, and the middle doctor called him virtuous, and he sighed: "The son is in danger of me!" The doctor is good for the lonely voice sè dog and horse is good for entertainment, but for love. In order to avoid arousing suspicion between the DPRK and China, he did not dare to be called a virtuous person.

The Fu, Xiang, and lieutenants of the kingdom have the responsibility of supervising the princes and kings, and when they violate the law and commit crimes, the princes and kings also have the right to impeach, but the princes and kings of the Eastern Han Dynasty do not dare to play, such as the Qinghe Guofu is corrupt and perverts the law, and Liu Qing, the king of Qinghe, does not dare to play, and the Son of Heaven is responsible, and he replied: "With the respect of the master, he is selected from the holy dynasty, and the ministers are foolish and only know what to listen to, and they are not very picketed." ”

The power of Fu and Xiang is completely above the princes and kings.

The fact that the princes and kings of the Eastern Han Dynasty broke the law was also related to the social atmosphere. The atmosphere of the former Han Dynasty was radical and frivolous, and the youth of the alleys did not avoid the law and prohibition, and the folk customs were fierce and aggressive, but in the late Han Dynasty, with the concept of Confucianism deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the social fashion also tended to be deep and cautious. Therefore, the princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty are more humble and filial piety, many people are elegant and elegant, in the country, such as Liu Cang, the king of Dongpingxian, Li Shimin asked Wei Zheng who was virtuous among the princes, and Wei Zheng replied that he was the king of Wu, saying that he could be compared with the two kings of Hejian and Dongping of the Han Dynasty. Liu De, the king of Hejian, was the prince of the former Han Dynasty, the third son of Emperor Jing, who had elegant materials, admired Confucianism, and even formed a Hejian school.

In general, the status of the princes and kings of the Eastern Han Dynasty was far inferior to that of the kings of the early and middle Han Dynasty. Yuan Hong said: "The princes forbidden, the sun and the moon are dense, and the last days are declining, so they are afraid of defeat with their humility, and they are frustrated by the common people with the same surname, and they are arm-armed, so they can mess with the world." ”

In the era of the Han Dynasty, the princes and kings went from arrogance to observance of the vassal festival, which was closely related to the policy of moderation.

At the beginning of the former Han Dynasty, Liu Bang "punished the defeat of Qin isolation", in order to stabilize the regime, the great feudal clan was the king, and Yu took it as a vassal auxiliary, protecting Kyoto, and the clan was booming. After Emperor Wen, the clan was powerful, and zhongyāng contended, so the imperial court began to vigorously restrict the clan, after the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, and by Emperor Wu's rectification, the clan turned to decline, to the end of the Western Han Dynasty, it was already "the clan is weak, there is no strong domain", "China and foreign are in danger, the end is weak", so that Wang Mang "has no fear", so he usurped the Han.
